Viral Post: A job interview is something that both the interviewer and the interviewee, i.e., the candidate look ahead to make a fresh start, new challenges, hiring new talent, and mutual feedback.
In this case, a man posted a screenshot of a post-interview conversation on Reddit where he shared a reply that he received from an interviewer after he sent an email to her about not pursuing a position he interviewed for.
The response has not gone down well with the netizens as many called it “unprofessional” and “demeaning”. Of course, they were annoyed by this act.
“email I got post-interview I mean I guess I didn’t have to send a follow-up but damn lady,” wrote the man on Reddit.

He explained how his interview went in a follow-up post.
“She was so crazy, the entire interview she was constantly checking her phone / generally being incredibly unprofessional and rude towards me – I knew almost immediately it was not a good fit but she instructed me “go home and think about the job & let me know if you’re interested or not” which I wasn’t, but I thought *well it’s nice to be nice, so even if I don’t want the job I’ll send this follow up email, LIKE SHE SUGGESTED I DO – imagine my surprise when I received this reply lol.”
The post has received many comments. Sharing a few with you here.
disgruntledCPA2: You were super reasonable and courteous and she was like LOL you suck HAHA. Sorry. I’m just being nice. BYE
Lordlillefugl: Yeah, why would she spend time and effort writing all these words when a simple “thank you for your email, good luck in the future “ would be enough. This just screams insecurity. What a child 🤦
Winterbird: “I broke up with you first!!” Who is this loser, please name and shame the company that would keep staff this incompetent and thin skinned.
Primary_Reality9717: Small boutique PR company unfortunately staff of 1! Would have been just me and her in a windowless one room office in Sherman oaks
Kateshowers: This is incredibly toxic and you dodged a bullet my friend! Imagine what it would be like working with this person. I would send this to their higher ups and let them know this is how they are treating their applicants. It’s extremely unprofessional and gross. Another commenter nailed it, gives off “I broke up with you first!” vibes, which is just weird for a job interview.
Shihyus: “The worst they can say is no.”
e3mpty: The interviewer resorted to pettiness. They could have responded with a “no problem, we understand and wish you best of luck” rather than being a complete egomaniac trying to get one up on the op. They did this out of spite as I see no other reason to respond like this especially if they already filled the role. You definitely dodged a bullet there if that’s how they treat people.
